Free Admission to State Parks This Friday

While most people will be swarming the shopping centers on Black Friday Governor Andrew Cuomo is encouraging people to instead visit a state park and he announced there will be free admission to all New York State parks this Friday. Events and programs to be held over the holiday weekend include Buy Nothing Day, which allows visitors to create gifts using recycled materials; the Thanksgiving Walk Off, which promotes healthy exercise after a hearty holiday feast; and making your own holiday wrapping paper to prepare for the upcoming holiday season.
